Q41 / 100

What is OSPF and what algorithm does it use to compute routes?

Correct! Well done.

Incorrect.

The correct answer is D) Open Shortest Path First — a link-state interior gateway protocol that floods link-state advertisements and uses Dijkstra's shortest-path-first algorithm to build a routing table

D

Correct Answer

Open Shortest Path First — a link-state interior gateway protocol that floods link-state advertisements and uses Dijkstra's shortest-path-first algorithm to build a routing table

Explanation

OSPF routers exchange link-state advertisements (LSAs) to build an identical topology database, then each independently runs Dijkstra's algorithm to compute shortest paths, supporting areas and VLSM for scalability.
